"Marmite may be a relative newcomer to the Seattle area food scene, but owners Bruce and Sara Naftaly aren’t — they owned this city’s pioneering French restaurant, Le Gourmand, for 27 years before closing in 2012. Imagine the delight in 2016, then, that accompanied the opening of their new venture dedicated to a French cooking pot (not a British yeast extract). The impressive interior possesses a woodsy, almost outdoor aesthetic, which fits the couple’s dedication to Pacific Northwest ingredients. In particular, his various takes on mussels always come in a soul-stirring broth." - Leonardo David Raymundo
